dian Pacific Railroad has secured for trans
portation across the continent, in addition
to the quantity of 100000 pounds of sugar
shipped this week, 100000 pounds more.
1t is almost certain that the American Su-
gar Refinery of this city is the shipper.
These shipments may precipitate a sugar
war in the East. The Canadian Pacific,
not being under the sway of the interstate
commerce bill, can transport freights as
the demands of trade require, without in
terstate commerce regulation, and IS there
fore getting considerable business from his
part of the country. There may be a pur-
pose in this traffic deal to force the Ameri-
can railroad managers to take the Canadian
line into the general pool.

Bradstreet's gives a review OF the re-
markable boom in real estate in the south
and west during the past six months. The
article says:
The activity OF real estate within six
months has been very conspicuous, the first
four months of 1887 witnessing an extra
ordinary increase in the speculative inter-
est. Reports from twenty-three cities
and towns are represented, detailing the
growth OF investment and speculation in
real estate, with details as to leading
causes and the outcome thus far. The
cities reported nave enjoyed a real estate
boom, = which in some instances is based
mainly on speculative influences. The de.
mand for real estate and appreciation 10
values in the iron and coal districts OF the
South is especially noteworthy. In the
West, Wichita, Kan, with increase in val.
ues and building generally, is a striking ex'
ample OF possible growth. st. Joseph, Mo-
and Duluth, Mimi, separated as they are
seem representatives OF the far reach
ing nature OF the increased activity.
As the older cities like ST. Paul, Mime.
apolis and Milwaukee are reached, the i'm
proyement is less a matter OF wonder. In
the Ohio valley, Louisville has shown IRE
greater relative increase in this direction,
owing to the previous LOW value at which
land was held. New York, Philadelphia
and Brooklyn report great activity. Prices
in these cities rule high, and advances are
firmly insisted on. The chief actisity ~
New York seems Of late to have been on
the west side up town and in the annexed
districts. In Boston the amount oil capi-
tai is very large, and prices have adyanc.

The emigration from Europe this
year promises to be extraordinary.
Ireland is pouring out her tens of
thousands and transportation facul-
ties are severly taxed. The assort-
ment OF foreigners whom we receive
yearly is much more varied than it
vas a few years ago, and the mum,
hers arriving from each of the coun-
tries which contribute to our populs-
ton is more nearly equalized. Great
Britain and Ireland lead, OF course,
the United Kingdom, sending about

An admirable illustration OF the

in performing it, when the boys faith

Granville on the Irish Question.

LONDON, Dec. 13.-The cabinet has
decided to reasemble parliament Feb. Z.
The government will try to limit the de-
bate on the address in reply to the
queens speech to one week. Lord
Randolph Churchill, guest of Lord Hart
ington at Hardwick hall, reports they
are comforting as to the best means to
meet the free trade agitation. The
Eighty club gave banquet in honor of
Earl Granville. In speech Granville
cOntended the reception given Harting-
ton and GOschen i'm Dublin was no test
of public opinion. DeSertions had
not destroyed the Liberal party,
which was endowed with enduring
vitality. Carrying aloft the banner of
progress the Liberals did not wish to
declare that dissident beyond the pale
of the party. On the contrary. they
wished to bring about reunion, but it
was impossible to achieve reunion by a
suspension of the Irish question. Not all
the power of Lord Salisbury and Glad
stone united could do that hear, hear.
If the government undertook to settle
the Irish question upon reasonable ba-
sis of self-gOvernment. they would
have the hearty support of the Liberals.
1t will be better for the government to
try to settle the Irish question than fol-
low their present course, which tended
to take from the Irish all respect for
the laws.

the meeting of the synod owing to the
fact that well grounded belief prevails
